Comments on: Mark Krikorian And CIS Conflate ‘Uninsured Crisis’ With ‘Immigration Crisis’ http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/06/29/health-care-immigration/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:42:01 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: AndiMedi http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/06/29/health-care-immigration/comment-page-1/#comment-154840 AndiMedi Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:50:20 +0000 http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/?p=17033#comment-154840 CIS' reason to exist as an organization can be summed up in one sentence: "We make up numbers to scare people about immigrants." Teaming up with other reality-challenged activists to swift-boat the President's health care agenda is low and completely expected from the likes of them.

CIS has long had holes in their studies. Their aim is kill the political will for covering more people, whether that's under Bush or the newest unitary executive, Obama. Pay attention to what comes out of conference, everything else is meaningless. Signs point to a half arsed effort at covering everyone, one that doesn't start in earnest for years.
